This was a meme with requests sent from one server to an individual URL that could be easily cached.

The pages dropped because the requests were stopped by us. The attack can be run indefinitely without any problem, and many servers. We stopped requests because you now understand the problem.

If you're hosting "controversial" content, you should be better prepared. This was not a serious attack, only one server with one CPU and a 100Mbps line to send a request via cloudflare.
